If you ask enough associations, you’ll get a food a month to celebrate. July covers a lot of tastes.

So today, the 1st of July, is a good time to get on the bandwagon and start celebrating National Ice Cream Month. You don’t want to miss a day of this event. The industry is happy to accommodate with all kinds of new flavors and ingredient combinations. Haagen Dazs simplified the rules a little with its “five” product line–just 5 ingredients for the purity of taste. Trust me on this: Try the five Coffee. If you have ultimate discipline, then celebrate just one day of the month: July 19th, National Ice Cream Day.

For the fruit lovers this is a good month as it is National Blueberry Month. When they are plentiful, the blues bring on the smiles. If you can’t get enough of them, they are easy to freeze and bring cereals to life in the dead of winter! Of course, there’s the whole health discussion and the top marks the blues earn in the antioxidant life-saving category. That makes them extra tasty!

July is also National Hot Dog Month and this coming 4th of July tips the scales with record volume expected of over 150 million hot dogs! That little factoid should have the bakers baking and the relish makers making. Even the mustard people should ready themselves!

These three celebrations set the mood for the month.

Don’t waste a second; get started.

There’s a lot to celebrate.
